This week we're having an honest conversation around body image in a time where it seems like everyone is getting smaller. We're sharing our thoughts on the shift from 'health at every size' to 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' and the whiplash that comes with it, the fundamental misconception that it's everyone's goal to lose weight, and how we place too much value on what we look like versus who we are.

We also discuss the marketing of weight-loss medications and its implications, the pressure we can feel to change ourselves even if we've worked hard to feel comfortable in our own skin, how we deal with toxic thoughts, and why 'losing 5 pounds' might not be the ultimate answer.

Plus, our takes on how celebrity weight-loss influences the public, thin privilege, and the limitations of plus-size fashion.
